UNC Chapel Hill - A Walking Tour of UNC Chapel Hill Campus

(c) David Biondi
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was chartered by the North Carolina legislature in 1789, and is among the oldest college campuses in the nation. The campus is open to the public and Triangle residents take full advantage of its resources and beauty. It's wonderful place to enjoy a picnic, stroll through botanical gardens, spend hours browsing the millions of books in the campuses' vast libraries, and, last but not least, watch college athletics at their finest.

UNC-Chapel Hill has over 28,000 students and employs over 11,000 Triangle-area residents.
